How can remove the <scheduled date> in the org agenda view quickly?

In the emacs org agenda view(today), I schedule some tasks with the <scheduled date>. But now I want to remove the <scheduled date> single task or mutli tasks together. (Don't want to schedule them to the other day).

Now I have to <TAB> each tasks, and delete the <scheduled date> line.

Is there any quick key (speed key?) to do it?

Solution

  • tl;dr : In the agenda, m on all these tasks, then C-u B s.

    This called for quite a bit of searching, but org-mode is powerful.

    According to the manual,

    C-c C-s (org-schedule)
    When called with a prefix argument, remove the scheduling date from the entry.

    and, in the agenda:

    B (org-agenda-bulk-action)
    Bulk action: act on all marked entries in the agenda.

    s Schedule all items to a new date.

    So what you need to do is:

    • In the agenda, mark all the items you want to remove the sheduled date from (with m, like in dired)
    • C-u as the prefix argument to remove the scheduling.
    • B s to run org-schedule as a bulk action.

    And you're done ! Enjoy :·)
